Isaac Mason

Nice :) I referenced the below but ended up making my own impl that keeps data structures serialisable (just arrays and gl-matrix) and avoids allocations.

Per usual, the sketch is open source and can be found on my website / github:

This is my first stab at foot placement procedural animation so my approach is fairly rudimentary.
tl;dr

- raycast to find an ideal foot position
- step if the current vs ideal distance exceeds some threshold, and a leg is within their slot in a repeating step phase timer

I created a handful of controls to quickly throw together new "crawlers". If I use this in a game someday I'd imagine creating a bunch of different characters and enemies just with different crawler configurations.

I haven't posted a sketch in a while, here's a new one called "crawlers" - an exploration of inverse kinematics and procedural animation.

Added googly eyes after realising I made a nightmare configurator 😂😅

Was asked by GLSL course students to cover particles, so here's my first pass on an easy particle system. Expect to see a new section soon covering this, gpgpu techniques, and more.
